Definition1/7
While Commodus was generally popular with the army and the lower
classes, he alienated the upper class, leading to a series of plots
against him.
He was little interested in public affairs, preferring the
thearte, arena and his private life, leaving administration to
appointees who abused their positions, with the odium flowing to
Commodus.
This included alienation of the populace over a food shortage in
Rome and then a fire which devastated parts of the city. He
responded with obsessive self aggrandisement which solved nothing
and accelerated the conspircies to dispose of him, one of which was
successful. The Senate then declared him a public enemy.
